BOT DETECTOR

In an attempt to decipher my access logs, I have put this non-obvious page onto my site. A human surfer would not notice this link, but an internet robot would happily trundle on through.

Thus I can see their fingerprints in my log file and zap records related to the same source. Some are easily identifiable anyway, but I have noticed some which are less easily judged as robots, but I feel they must be.

Some bots also clearly identify themselves as email finders. Yuck!
